If you're at Pass-a-Grille at sunset, chances are you're going to see this fun beach ritual

Some things just feel like they've always been that way and always ought to be that way. One of those things out at Pass-a-Grille is the tradition of ringing the bell at sunset. Though it seems as if it has been forever, actually the ritual has been going on for about two decades, so there are those around who remember before the ringing of the bell. Still, there are many for whom the sunset bell and life n Pass-a-Grille are synonymous. We noted with delight Helen J. Simon's recent feature in The Gabber about the bell and the people who look after it. Nice read.
